CPD Homes

The Medical Board of Australia sets minimum requirements for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for medical practitioners.

CPD homes are organisations that deliver CPD programs and make sure doctors registered in their home meet their minimum CPD requirements. Accredited CPD homes also audit and report CPD compliance to the Medical Board.

A CPD home may be an education provider, another organisation with a primary educational purpose, or an organisation with a primary purpose other than education.

The 香港六合彩开奖 is the accreditation authority for CPD Homes.

The role of the 香港六合彩开奖 in accreditation of CPD homes

The 香港六合彩开奖 is a national standards and assessment body for medicine. Its purpose is to ensure that standards of education, training and assessment of the medical profession promote and protect the health of the Australian community.

The purpose of the accreditation process is to accredit CPD homes so they provide quality assured CPD programs that are robust, monitored and evaluated. Accreditation of CPD homes is key to ensuring all practitioners participate in a structured CPD program with support and guidance available.

Functions performed by the 香港六合彩开奖:

  • Assess applications for initial accreditation as a CPD home against the Criteria.
  • Assessment of established CPD homes.
  • Conduct annual monitoring for all CPD homes.
  • Develop, review and monitor the Criteria and Procedures for CPD home accreditation.
  • Provide advice to accredited CPD homes and prospective CPD home applicants.

Please note: The 香港六合彩开奖 does not provide advice to practitioners regarding their individual CPD circumstances.

Criteria for CPD Home accreditation

The 香港六合彩开奖 uses four criteria to assess CPD Homes for accreditation.

The CPD home has appropriate governance structures, expertise and resources to be a CPD home providing a CPD program(s) that support meaningful professional development.听 The home provides clear information about the CPD program(s), requirements and costs.

A CPD home provides a CPD program(s) that enables practitioners to meet the requirements of the Registration standard: CPD and has effective systems, policies and processes to provide the CPD program(s).

The CPD home provides guidance to help practitioners identify high quality CPD activities that support development across the breadth of their scope(s) of practice.

A CPD home complies with the Medical Board of Australia’s auditing and compliance reporting requirements, and the 香港六合彩开奖’s accreditation requirements for its CPD program(s).

The Medical Board of Australia鈥檚 Registration standard: Continuing professional development

The Medical Board of Australia is the national regulator of the medical profession. It is responsible for setting the standards that must be met for a practitioner to be registered as a medical practitioner in Australia.

In 2023, the Medical Board of Australia revised the Registration Standard: Continuing Professional Development. All doctors now need to join an 香港六合彩开奖-accredited CPD home (unless exempt) where they will complete the 50 hours of CPD, and comply with the CPD requirements, in order to maintain registration.

The function of the MBA in relation to CPD is to:

  • Set the standards and requirements for registration.
  • Approve the specialist high level requirements of the specialist medical colleges.
  • Provide advice and direction to practitioners on individual CPD circumstances.
  • Provide advice and direction to CPD homes on individual CPD circumstances.
  • Communicate any changes to CPD to practitioners and advise accordingly.

FAQs: For organisations interested in becoming a CPD home

Requirements for a CPD program:

 

All CPD homes are expected to provide a CPD program that ensures doctors are able to meet the requirements of the CPD registration standard.

As such, a CPD home programs will have a minimum of two sets of requirements in line with the requirements of the registration standard. These are:

1. Minimum requirements to meet the registration standard.

These requirements are:

  • Write a professional development plan annually.
  • Complete 50 hours of CPD activities annually in the following categories: 25 hours reviewing performance and measuring outcomes, 12.5 hours educational activities and 12.5 hours flexible CPD allocated by individually.

2. Program-level requirements.

These are additional requirements of the program that are set by the CPD home. However, the Medical Board of Australia has set four requirements that must be included as program-level requirements by all CPD homes. These requirements are:

  • Activities relating to: culturally safe practice, ethics, professionalism, and addressing health inequities.
  • Any additional program-level requirements set by the CPD home.

Specialist high-level requirements

In addition to the two sets of requirements mentioned above, a CPD home with members who hold specialist registration may have an additional set of requirements for their program, in line with the requirements of the registration standards.

Practitioners who hold specialist registration are required to meet any additional CPD requirements as set by their relevant accredited specialist medical college, to maintain registration as a specialist. These are called specialist high-level requirements, and are in addition to the registration requirements.

Each accredited specialist medical college is able to set specialist high-level requirements for their specialty annually.

To ensure practitioners with specialist registration are able to meet the requirements of the registration standard, CPD homes who offer their program to specialist will have a third requirement:

3. Specialist high-level requirements.

These requirements are only applicable to members who hold specialist registration in a specialty which has set specialist high-level requirements. They are not a requirement of other members of the program.

I am an organisation currently offering educational activities:

Organisations may continue to offer activities that count towards a practitioner鈥檚 CPD without becoming accredited as a CPD home.

The 香港六合彩开奖 is not able to accredit individual CPD activities. To discuss the CPD accreditation of your organisation鈥檚 educational activities, please contact the individual CPD homes whose members scope of practice aligns with your educational content.

I am a non-香港六合彩开奖 accredited specialty college or association:

You are able to apply for accreditation as a CPD home to offer a CPD program to your members and other practitioners.

However, you are still able to support your members to continue development in your scope without CPD accreditation. You may wish to offer educational content or activities that practitioners can partake in and log towards their CPD hours with another CPD home.

No, the criteria for accreditation as a CPD do not require the organisation to produce CPD content.

However, a CPD home must provide guidance and learning resources for practitioners on CPD activities that support them to develop and improve their practice in line with requirements of the CPD program.

If you wish to apply for accreditation as a CPD home, please email the 香港六合彩开奖 via cpdhomes@amc.org.au to receive a copy of the submission template.

Currently the 香港六合彩开奖 is conducting annual intake rounds for new CPD home applicants. To submit an application, you must provide the 香港六合彩开奖 with the completed template and all supporting documentation by the due date.
